2481. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: While the Prophet ﷺ was with one of his wives, one of the Mothers of the believers (i.e., one of his wives) sent a wooden bowl containing food with a servant. The wife (in whose house he was sitting) stroke the bowl with her hand and broke it. The Prophet ﷺ collected the shattered pieces and put the food back in it and said, "(Help yourselves and) eat." He kept the servant and the bowl till he had eaten the food. Then the Prophet ﷺ gave another unbroken bowl to the servant and kept the broken one.

2481 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ المُؤْمِنِينَ مَعَ خَادِمٍ بِقَصْعَةٍ فِيهَا طَعَامٌ، فَضَرَبَتْ بِيَدِهَا، فَكَسَرَتِ القَصْعَةَ، فَضَمَّهَا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا الطَّعَامَ، وَقَالَ: «كُلُوا» وَحَبَسَ الرَّسُولَ وَالقَصْعَةَ حَتَّى فَرَغُوا، فَدَفَعَ القَصْعَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ، وَحَبَسَ المَكْسُورَةَ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
